Let me just say, that I was doing SO GOOD this week at not buying books. Like with my own money, I mean. But, but, but then my father decides to drop this little gem of information on me a few days ago. There is apparently a super HUGE library book sale in OKC every year, and it just so happens to be this weekend. On the scale of epic book sales, this sale was the type people camp out for like it's black friday and bring wagons/rolling trash cans to. Yes, ROLLING TRASH CANS. Hmm. That sounds like something Becca should go to for sure, right? It totes sounds like a fab idea to load my wagon up in the car and see if I really need it or not, RIGHT? Yeah, no. Because you know what happens? The above picture happens. However, the first stack is my mom's, but altogether we spent just under $40 bucks. Pretty sweet deal. Now, I just have to convince myself that going back on Sunday is a very bad idea for my wallet. We will see how well that goes over! HA!
As for what I got? Well, I just got home from said sale, and I'm completely exhausted from squatting over boxes. I can barely walk up my stairs, peeps. I extreme book shopped today, so that means I'm entirely way too lazy to list and link said books. Sorry! Oh, but if you are in the good ol' state of Oklahoma, this library sale of epic proportions is at the OK Expo Hall at the OKC Fairgrounds, and it's free (and totes worth going to, if you ask me!)
OOh nice! A gift and wins!! Loved Cruel Beauty! Hope you enjoy it too!
ReplyDeleteMy STS will be up tomorrow, so be sure to stop by then!

ReplyDeleteCome check out my STS
Haha yes I totes did! Like there was lots of squatting under tables involved, and still today, I can barely walk bc my thighs are so sore!! But it was SO worth it! I was tempted to go again today, but my legs just can't handle it. LOL. I hope I do too! I still need to get the two before it, but I saw it and couldn't pass it up bc it was $1! I'm dying to read Cruel Beauty too!! It sounds awesome!!
DeleteThat is unbelievably awesome. I wish I could go....but it's a bit too far from illinois...Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHaha yeah, that is quite a bit of a drive!
DeleteOMG! I need to find that kind of book sale! :) Congrats on the fabulous haul. Cruel Beauty is on my Gotta Read ASAP list lol, enjoy! hope you can stop by mine
ReplyDeleteHaha it was awesome! I guess they have one every year, so this will totes be a new annual trip for me! Thanks Emily! :) I'm headed to yours right now!
DeleteYour book haul makes me feel less guilty about my month's book haul. ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha month's haul?! Oh geez, this is just a week's worth of books for me!! Which is way too many for one week, but I blame the library sale for that one! LOL
DeleteWow! Great haul! Cruel Beauty was awesome!
ReplyDeleteMissie @ A Flurry of Ponderings
YAY! I cannot wait to read it! :)
DeleteI really loved Dayna Lorentz's first book, but I need to read NO EASY WAY OUT still!
ReplyDeleteThere was a huge annual book sale down where I went to college in Kalamazoo, MI and I loved it... People totally brought totes and rolling suitcases and stuff even though it was totally not allowed! That library also had a used bookstore in it, with books ppl donated and bks purged from the collection, which was really great!
Check out my new books for review!
I did too!! I just hadn't picked up a copy of NEWO yet, so I was pretty happy to hear I won it!! Oh cool!! Yeah, all the wagons and stuff were allowed at this one as far as I knew, but I'm so glad I decided to take one, because there were so many books. There was no way I would've been able to carry them! I wish my library had a used bookstore though! That sounds so awesome! :)
DeleteWooohooo for absolutely awesome book sales!!
ReplyDeleteAH I KNOW, RIGHT?!
DeleteYay Library sale! I love those so much. You definitely found some good ones!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy Cruel Beauty, I thought that one was a really nice retelling (and the cover is so pretty!). Happy reading!
